Senate approves $2.75 billion foreign aid bill amid policy limits
The Senate approved a $2.75 billion foreign aid measure with restrictions, slashing Nixon’s request by 22 percent. The vote clears the way for a funding resolution to cover the current year while Congress adjourns for the year. The bill sets military aid at $1.5 billion and economic and humanitarian aid at $1.2 billion, with subsequent allocations for the next fiscal year to be enacted later. A key Mansfield timetable amendment was rejected, but other restrictions remain, including a $341 million cap on Cambodia aid and a halt to further obligations until funds are available.

Air Force and union to discuss veteran job rights at Vandenberg
AFL-CIO Service Employees International Union and Air Force officials plan afternoon talks at Vandenberg AFB about veteran hiring.
